push for the big cuts republicans say they want. if they turn their back on those big cuts, the president is in the strongest position to say they are not living up to their principles. >> and there is no chance of them accepting any kind of big deal at all because the president is insisting that there be tax revenue increases in there. so the president knows that he is pushing something that they absolutely cannot agree to. so at this point, what the president does seem to be doing is what you just said, is making his position appear to be the one who wants to do the big move on deficit reduction, and forcing these republicans to back away from big deficit reduction, thereby, he hopes, neutralizing deficit reduction as an issue against him in the presidential campaign. >> well, look, he's talked about deficit reduction all the way through. but remember, it's not just his position here. it's 2/3 of the american public. we have a slew of polls here saying that 2/3 of the american people want to see some combination of taxes and spend

there is a big difference between 15% and 0%. this study can be found right now on house speaker john boehner's website. speaker.gov. there are reports now seeping out of the ultrasecret bipartisan deficit reduction negotiations led by invite president joe biden that the ratio that was on the table when the republicans walked out was 83% spending cuts, 17% revenue increases. so when the talks got within a couple of percentage points of the ratio that republicans recently considered acceptable, why did the republicans walk out? senator chuck schumer knows why. >> let's not forget senator mcconnell made it clear last october that his number one priority above everything else is to defeat president obama. and now it's becoming clear that insisting on a slash and burn approach may be part of this plan. it has a double benefit for republicans. it's ideologically tidy and undermines economic recovery, which they think only helps them in 2012. >> the current position on tax revenues including the refusal to close tax loopholes is too ex
